The Super League Grand Final is the championship-deciding game of rugby league's Super League competition.〔http://www.superleague.co.uk/grand_final/grand_final〕 It is played between two teams who have qualified via the Super League Play-Off series.〔http://www.superleague.co.uk/about_sl/the_play-off_series〕 The winning team receive the Super League Trophy and go on to play the NRL champions in the World Club Challenge. The Harry Sunderland Trophy is awarded to the man of the match in the Grand Final. Leeds are the current champions, beating Wigan 22-20 to add to their Challenge Cup and League Leaders Shield successes, therefore completing the season treble. ==History== Use of a play-off system to decide the Championship brought back a rugby league tradition that had fallen out of use in the '70s, '80s and '90s. The Super League Premiership replaced the Championship final but it was to decided the Premiership winners, not the Championship winners. The Premiership was discontinued after the introduction of the Super League play-off series in 1998. The Super League Grand Final was introduced for the 1998 season. The inaugural Grand Final match was played that year on Saturday 24 October, between Wigan and Leeds. The venue of every Super League Grand Final to date has been Old Trafford, Manchester.〔http://www.rugbyleaguetickets.co.uk/grand_final〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Super League Grand Final」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
